She whispered sternly, "If you haven't slept enough, go to sleep now. If you sleep, Yu Yang won't be watching you anymore!"
"Since you care so much about my health, then I will obey and go to rest. I promise to be full of energy and vigor tonight, and to successfully complete the task assigned to me by the organization!"
This jerk, he's a classic example of someone who takes advantage of kindness and tries to climb the social ladder! Chen Hong grabbed a cushion and threw it at him.
"Shut up! Go back to your room and go to sleep! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll get angry!"
Zhou Yi realized something was wrong; he'd really annoyed the woman. He quickly chuckled, put down the cushion, and went back to his room to rest. "You're so easily amused. I was just kidding."
Chen Hong sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding the remote control and unconsciously changing channels, a happy smile appearing on her face.
This Zhouyi (Book of Changes) now frequently exhibits childish traits, increasingly resembling a big boy.
His calm and cool expression was starting to crumble. When they first met, Yu Yang was a little afraid of him, but now, all Yu Yang felt for him was admiration, pride, and dependence.
When the time came, Chen Hong gently woke Yu Yang. Knowing that Zhou Yi was asleep, her son quietly washed up, changed his clothes and shoes, and the two of them quietly left the house.
Only after entering the elevator did Yu Yang breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems that Mr. Zhou is really tired. I was washing my face and going to the toilet quite loudly, but he didn't wake up!"
Chen Hong was a little embarrassed, and after a pause, she said, "He's just relaxed because he's home!"
"Yes! Yes! I used to never sleep soundly at my grandpa's house. Only at our own home can I sleep through the night."
Mr. Zhou is the same as me in this respect; the village chief's grandmother says it's because he's not used to sleeping in the same bed!
Chen Hong: ...
"Mom, is Dad leaving tomorrow?"
Chen Hong rode her electric bike slowly along the roadside under the shade of green trees.
"Didn't your mother tell you? He's a soldier, and he works at the military base except when he's on leave."
Moreover, he has to participate in training every day, and sometimes he has to go on missions.
His time, most of the time, didn't belong to us, nor to himself, but to the army.
Yu Yang leaned against his mother's back and said, "Mom, don't be sad. Even though Dad isn't home, I'm here with you!"
Chen Hong chuckled: "Son, who told you that your mother is sad?"
Isn't this the kind of life my mother and I have always lived?
Mom, don't be sad. Now that you, Dad Zhou, are in our lives, don't you think we're happier?
Although your father can't be with us every day, he will take care of us wholeheartedly whenever he comes back.
Playing with you, exercising with you, and even helping Mom with housework—aren't we much happier than before?
"Yes! Mom, Zhou's dad is much better than my dad, he won't abandon us!"
"So, as the song goes, 'Congratulations on your fortune, the best things come to you, and the bad things go away!'"
Now our family has everything the best in the world; all the bad stuff has left, and Mom is making money every day!
Yu Yang thought about it and agreed, so he stopped worrying about it. "Mom, let Zhou Dad pick me up this afternoon! He's leaving tomorrow, and it'll be a long time before we see each other again."
"Okay, I'll tell him, and he'll be happy to pick you up and drop you off."
After dropping her child off, Chen Hong went straight home. When she got to the door, she was happy to know that someone was waiting for her at home.
The door clicked open, and Chen Hong found that Zhou Yi was already up.
After putting down the keys, Chen Hong asked as she changed her shoes, "Why are you up? Did Yu Yang and I make too much noise and wake you up?"
Zhou Yi stood up and put his arm around her waist, his slightly stubbled chin rubbing against her fragrant shoulder.
I can't sleep well when you're not around!
"Tch, all you do is talk the talk. I wasn't around when you were in the army, so don't tell me you never sleep well!"
The Book of Changes: ...
"How can that be compared? In the army, we're exhausted all day long, and hardly anyone can't sleep."
If you can't sleep, it's not that you're not sleepy, it's that you're not tired! When you're extremely tired, you can fall asleep standing up.
Chen Hong washed her hands, took out some tea leaves, and brewed a pot of tea. "This is this year's new tea. It seems you haven't had any yet, have you?"
Here, try it and see how it tastes. This was specially saved for you.
Zhou Yi watched as Chen Hongyu slenderly handed him a cup of cloud and mist tea, the aroma of which alone brought a sense of clarity to his mind.
This is of a completely different quality from the tea Chen Hong gave us before.
If tea in the past was considered high-quality tea, then this tea is the finest and most premium tea.
Zhou Yi savored the tea in his mouth, finding it truly fragrant and unforgettable.
What's even more astonishing is that this tea makes you feel intoxicated, clear-headed, and blissfully euphoric.
Zhou Yi's gaze was deep. He took a few more sips of tea, and after finishing two infusions, he hesitated before finally pulling Chen Hong into his arms.
"Chen Hong, you should drink this tea secretly by yourself from now on, and never take it out again."
This tea is extraordinary; if I'm not by your side, it will cause you trouble.
Good things should be kept secret and enjoyed in private; don't use them to test people's hearts.
You don't know how unpredictable people are in this world, and how deep their greed is—a dark abyss you can't even imagine!
As a single woman with a child, your safety should be the top priority.
"If anything urgent happens, call this number. Even if I'm not there, someone will help you." He then had Chen Hong write down a phone number.
"Whose call is this? Could it be your direct supervisor?" Chen Hong thought to herself, secretly alarmed.
